Some shenanigans seemed likely with Randy Orton and King Corbin present for Seth Rollins’ Universal Title bout against Rusev, but those two turned out to be the least astonishing appearances during a bout that got out of hand quickly as Raw’s season premiere faded to black.
The first unexpected guest was Bobby Lashley, who came to the ramp and was soon joined by Rusev’s wife, Lana. The Ravishing Russian, who has been conspicuous by her absence amid rumors of “problems at home,” locked lips with The All Mighty in front of a distraught Rusev. Moments later, the lights went out, and Rollins got his visitor: “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt, whose arrival was forecasted on “Firefly Fun House” earlier in the night. The menacing Superstar didn't wait to make his move, appearing instantly at the side of the ring and locking Rollins in the Mandible Claw during the final moments of the show. So a night that began with unmitigated chaos ends in mayhem with a broken heart, a broken body and the promise of Hell to come. And it’s only the first episode of the season.
